I recently finished a bargello for my daughter ( http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...g-t157075.html ) and had a great time with it. It required 24 different fabrics which was the hardest and most time consuming process. I don't think it would be that difficult for you, just take your time with the fabrics (small prints work better) and make a small project such as a table runner first (I made two) to perfect the different techniques required for a bargello. The actual construction was pretty fast....I think it took longer to make the strip sets than anything else. I also numbered each fabric in order and tacked it on the wall in front of my sewing machine for easy reference...you will be checking it often. I also didn't cut strips ahead of what I needed for the next 2 or 3 and it saved me lots of confusion. Those are just a couple of my tips....there are more if you decide you want to make one. Give it a go....you will be happy you did!
